I presume with no Europe that Chelsea, Spurs and Newcastle should piss finishing in the top 5 next season. Been told a million times by pundits over the last few months that’s how it works.
Young lad from Southampton pops around a training ground with an iPhone 11 - they get booted from the playoffs
City cook the books and break every financial rule there is - play away lads, who’s arsed
Hmm…
I used to know the name of every player, in every team. Now, on the rare occasion I watch CL football, I know hardly anyone. I never thought I'd get this old/uninterested in football.
🚨🗣️ | Wayne Rooney on Marcus Rashford's latest comments:
"I think the environment hasn't been ideal, but that's also YOUR responsibility. If you don't play well or you're put on the bench, it's easier to blame the environment, whether justified or not. It all depends on how you get involved.
"We know he can do more, that he can run more, and that has nothing to do with the environment. I might be wrong, I like Marcus a lot as a person, but I think it's too easy to HIDE behind that argument.”
When the pub dies, more goes with it than just a pint.
I saw an interview with AJ Tracey the other day and it hit the nail on the head.
Pubs are part of British culture. They’re where people meet. Where ideas are shared. Where strangers debate politics, sport, life. Where worldviews get challenged, rightly so, all over a pint.
But now? £7 pints at a push. Hundreds of closures. Fewer places to gather. Less cross-generational conversation. More isolation. More echo chambers.
If people aren’t meeting, they’re not talking. If they’re not talking, they’re not listening. And that, long term, leads to narrower thinking and a more divided society.
Reviving the pub isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about rebuilding our social fabric.
This night gets more delicious. Carragher witnessing his team getting knocked out of Europe whilst sitting in the Kop end… what have I done to deserve this beauty 🥲🥲
